Download Day will start on June 17, 2008. They are going for Guinness World Record .
Yup - sure as hell would be good if they got it.
THOUGH, saying that - shouldn't be toooooo hard.
Whats the record theyre trying to achieve?
For having the most Internet download in one day .Whats the record theyre trying to achieve?
who has the record right now i have no idea .
Probably Call of Duty 4 Map Pack. It got so crowded downloading it that night on the Xbox Live Marketplace, the Microsoft servers crashed.
So tomorrow? I could download it to 8 different machines if I could be bothered. But as I don't think I can be I'll only do it to 2 of them.
I have one thing I hope that FF3 is compatible with my add ons, like the black JapaneseMAX skin, Faster Fox, ad block plus, Phish tank site checker.
Ohh, seeing as it's the second-last day of school, this sounds like a good time to abuse the school servers some more. 2000+ machines, one AutoExec.bat file; this should be fun.

A file your computer reads upon booting up with a list of things to run.

oh ok. I dont really get into the CMD thing anymore, last time I used it was for a class, and I got into something I wasnt supposed to by accident, and I almost got arrested. but since it was my first offense they let me off on a warning, but see I had no clue what it was. and today I can't even remember what the programs name was.
I has downloaded it
12:01am to be exact
And unlike the other versions , this works on my laptop which is great. Only bad thing is when i go onto a new page on something it minimizes my firefox
Probz my laptop doing it.
So is it the 3.0 RC3?
because it does not show on the main page yet, and it shows the dl at another page.
Main Page:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
download area
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html
EDIT:I downloaded the FF3 test version to see its progress, and I uninstalled it, and re installed FF2, well now FF keeps on Crashing on me, I have to use IE to get on.
I fixed it, I completely uninstalled FF and and then re installed it.
EDIT 2:
When is the Official release coming out? its the 17th, 12:52 AM CST, and still no Official release on the home page. It only shows FF2 Download, and at the bottom it has a link for the Beta test version FF3.0RC3.

oh ok thanks ^_^, and is there any way I can set Vista to automatically download it?
Well I won't be downloading until the 19th just to spite them. I hope they don't get their world record attempt
Why not Ross?
Why not Ross?
Because they've advertised it as being June17th when for the majority of the world it'd actually be June 18th.
oh ok
Mozilla's server is down
Too many people are there (or trying to get there) to download it, that it clogged up the servers.Mozilla's server is down
It still says download ff2. when it is an hour after 12 noon, and that was the start time.
I think so many downloads cause their servers to crash because their site is down and the download links are dead...
EDIT: just saw everyones post above me:P
Here is the link http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/?p=downloadday its back up and working.
But when i installed it , for some reason it lost most of my forum links and saved passwords . Watch for that .
I'll wait for a while, I find they're usual;ly a bit buggy at first, so i wait till i know it's got the all clear.
FF3 isn't buggy - it's been through many beta-s and RCs
It all seems pretty good - just the theme and the Real Player add-on that don't work for me but they'll catch up in time
Its all fine for me now, the only things that dont work is the themes, faster fox, and Phish Tank.
but it does seem allot faster then FF2.
I typed in firefox.com and downloaded it fine. I'm actually shocked...it installed faster then their previous versions. It took like 5 seconds count and it scanned my mods after it and downloaded and installed them. Less then thirty seconds. Shocked it wasn't a nightmare. I don't prefer Firefox but so many websites block non FF users now. ><'
I've downloaded it but haven't installed it yet. LOL
The only thing that sucks is that my favorite theme Black Japan MAX does not work, and that was the only theme I liked, now I am using Pitch black theme, which I don't like, because its not black its like a semi bleached black, I like the dark black ones. So I emailed the creator of Black Japan MAX.

But this is present almost every time something goes through a major update. The core foundation is streamlined to make things faster and more stable, so not everything will work right away.
Just give it some time; things will be updated.

Ohh I know this
I hate firefox.

Any website which does that instantly blocks ~ 80% of Internet users.
Anyway, I've installed it on one machine (not this one) and haven't noticed any real differences. But I don't use that machine for much web-browsing anyway.
Forgot to post about this earlier; Firefox beat the record, getting an approximate 8.3 million downloads; far greater than the 1.5 they'd hoped for.
I hate firefox.
Why do you hate it? and IE has to many security errors. Just browsing the internet caused me a virus. At least my Norton blocked it. Then another time someone tried to hack into my computer, and Norton blocked that too. So since FF has no issues with MyYearBook, I can use FF 100% now, I made Norton Restrict IE. so now it wont even open, and I really do not care.

YAY, Good for Mozilla!!!!
Congratulations Mozilla. :]. I still prefer Opera over Firefox; but sadly noone supports the only browser that supports all web standards. :[. I use Opera for my banking, and things that need high security in my personal life over Firefox due to it being marked the safest browser by private companies.
For Firefox; I do it for rest, flash, games, movies, and one of my favorite sites.
Internet Explorer, I don't like; I got a few viruses by just browsing via it o_O.

You got a virus just by browsing the net?! You must have been on a site that was a bit questionable for that. In fact, i don't think i've ever heard of someone getting a virus just by looking on the net. Normally it involves downloading something...

I wasnt on any "bad" site of course, and I was not downloading anything. I already cleared out Norton's History, so I can not show you, but it showed C://Program Files/Internet Explorer/Plugins. and I did not download any plugins for IE. My laptop became very slow. So I shut it down and re booted it back up. I scanned, and it did say a Malicious virus was in my IE area, the same thing happened on our XP as well. and we never use IE. always FF.

As much as I dislike IE, one cannot get a virus simply by browsing the net. Something must be downloaded in order for this to happen. If the virus got through, it is Norton that missed it, not IE.
Norton blocked it, but there was 6 of them, and 1 slipped through, do you know how many attacks I get? I get allot, For the life of me I do now know why. My Norton blocks all intrusions, and it blocks me for some reason too, I have yet to find that out. Like this morning I have 3 intrusions from 192.168.0.# the last single digit I will not show. but it says that it is a known signature and is attacking my computer. But yeah Ive had viruses just by browsing certain sites, like gamefaqs.com, and cheats.ugo.com/ it has to deal with the game cheats sites, but it does nothing comes up on FF saying there are viruses. and a tech specialist of my ISP told me that browsing the internet can make you open to attackers, and firewalls are defenseless to it, because cookies are logged as you know, and when hacker hack the site they get your IP address too, so then that is how you get attacked. But through Norton for some reason my IP is dynamic, so my IP changes all the time, though I look into the security records of my forum when I edit something or change something it is the same IP address. But on Norton it shows different.
EDIT:-- I do not want to start a fight, it happens to me, but it may not happen to you. So lets just drop it.
